"Hilltop Housing"

by Evangel
Album: Elation Foundation

In this settlement is where we get well equipped/
Accountability, we really need this fellowship/
A holy Kurios, Lord, He'd be furious/
At sin, so I'm curious why we don't take it serious/
The way He slew Ananias and Saphira/
Or Nadab and Abihu offering strange fire/
As a body we need confrontation/
We should be a congregation of consecration/
Do we not see this, we call ourselves Jesus'/
Body, while parts of it look like prosthesis/
These claims are unjust/
When we're guilty of the same sin, let it not be named among us/
Like you found those in Corinth/
Even I tried to justify when I downloaded torrents/
Let's ride out, and not keep it in a hideout/
But let it shine from the inside out/

Let's submit unto His will with our living, godliness/
a city on a hill not hidden, obvious/
We're the salt of the earth/
If we don't practice what we preach, there's a loss of it's worth/
Let's submit unto His will with our living, godliness/
a city on a hill not hidden, obvious/
We're the salt of the earth/
If we don't practice what we preach, there's a loss of it's worth/

The Lord is not pleased, because they blaspheme/
Orthodoxy needs orthopraxy/
Perhaps they eyeing it as mockery/
Pastors conventions at hotels rated as the highest in pornography/
They go on technicality/
There's choirs with men in it, effeminate, sinning with their
homosexuality/
But the savior ain't having it, He won't play averages/
Of pragmatists, nor okay gay marriages/
God's blood purchased us with a purpose/
It hurts us when they lead in worship at churches/
Which is probably confusing/
They could view sin as okay as a logical conclusion/
1 Corinthians 5:12 shows in this verse/
That we're to judge those in the church/
Put him out, not so that we got him on the run/
But so he comes to his senses like the prodigal son/
Spirit's saved but his flesh was doomed with Satan/
So excommunication was the best communication/
Second epistle, He returned and recovered with grieving/
The church reaffirmed their love and received him/
Maybe we stopped we'd see the spreading doubts cease/
With no Pharisees hypocrisy, but bread without yeast/
Do we care what they're thinking, if there's no distinction/
Christ could appear in a twinkling/

Let's submit unto His will with our living, godliness/
a city on a hill not hidden, obvious/
We're the salt of the earth/
If we don't practice what we preach, there's a loss of it's worth/
Let's submit unto His will with our living, godliness/
a city on a hill not hidden, obvious/
We're the salt of the earth/
If we don't practice what we preach, there's a loss of it's worth/

Misseo Dei, God's mission to this earth/
but christians doing dirt affects the witness of the church/
We're sinners, Lord forgive us/
If we say we do not sin, you're not in us/
Let's watch our life and doctrine, cause sinners need the sermon/
But how we live it out is our ministry's confirming/
God doesn't rank Christians/
Every position we do as unto God with thanksgiving/
If you're called to be a preacher then preach unto God/
If your job is as a plumber, plug leaks unto God/
Not a hearer but a doer, so they see more of God/
When they see our good works and He'd be glorified/
If you're a musician, harmonize unto God/
If you work in Mcdonalds, sell fries unto God/
If it's the post office, sell stamps unto God/
Cause the end of our lives we're gonna answer to God/

Let's submit unto His will with our living, godliness/
a city on a hill not hidden, obvious/
We're the salt of the earth/
If we don't practice what we preach, there's a loss of it's worth/
Let's submit unto His will with our living, godliness/
a city on a hill not hidden, obvious/
We're the salt of the earth/
If we don't practice what we preach, there's a loss of it's worth/
